AB KEY  POINTSPityriasis  rosea  (PR)  is  a  self-limiting  papulosquamous  dermatosis  that  is  found  in  all  Fitzpatrick  skin  types  (I  to  VI),  with  some  distinct  presentations  in  patients  with  skin  of  color.PR  is  associated  with  drugs  (barbiturates,  metronidazole,  terbinafine,  isotretinoin,  gold,  and  clozapine),  vaccinations  (hemagglutinin  1  neuraminidase  1  [H1N1]),  and  viruses  (human  herpes  virus  [HHV]-6,  HHV-7,  and  HHV-8).The  etiology  of  PR  is  unclear.  However,  antiviral  therapies  are  proving  to  be  effective  in  decreasing  the  duration  and  severity  of  this  condition.
